Official Announcement | 2026 Strategic Renewal: RFN × ART

Defining the Starting Point of Rider Development with Race-Spec Engineering

In 2026, RFN officially announces a deep strategic renewal with Asia Racing Team (ART)—one of Asia’s leading formula racing teams. RFN will also continue to partner with 21 Racing to compete across Asia and the international formula racing ecosystem throughout the 2026 season.

This renewal is more than a continuation of brand collaboration. It is a long-term commitment—confirmed through shared standards in engineering, competitive logic, and talent development—born from the resonance between the spirit and technology of two-wheel off-road and four-wheel formula racing.

Off-Road: The First Lesson Behind World-Class Drivers

Across the global motorsport system, off-road training has long been recognized as a critical starting point in developing elite drivers. Off-road motorcycles build irreplaceable fundamentals: vehicle feel, body balance, recovery reflexes, and control at the limit. From Hamilton to Rossi—and many world-class professional racers—their first lesson often began between mud and jumps.

Based on this shared understanding, RFN was born within the Apollo system, and from day one we defined our role clearly:

We don’t build toys. We build the first machine for future riders—and future champions.

RFN’s Long-Term Mission: Off-Road Electric Moto “First Coach”

As a professional electric off-road brand, RFN has made “the off-road electric moto first coach” our long-term mission. From early riding introduction for children as young as 3, to competitive training for teenagers, and onward to physical conditioning and performance maintenance for professional riders, RFN builds a product and technology system that spans the entire rider growth cycle—guided by Race-Spec engineering standards.

RFN’s engineering always starts from real race logic: safety rules, structural strength, controllable power delivery, and repeatable, verifiable engineering. Every element is designed and validated to competitive standards. This philosophy aligns closely with ART’s long-standing commitment to professional racing standards—and it is the core foundation for our continued partnership.

Shared Standards, Long-Term Confidence

RFN Founder and Chairman Ying Er stated:

“RFN has always taken racing rules and competitive standards as the foundation of our engineering system. This strategic renewal is not a short-term market move—it is a decision based on long-term safety validation, repeatable engineering capability, and a shared competitive logic.”

ART also stated that RFN’s engineering rigor and technical maturity in electric motorcycles provide important support for continued cooperation in an intense international competitive environment. With shared values around speed, standards, and excellence, the partnership is built for long-term stability.

2026 Season: Verified on Real Tracks

As the 2026 season begins, the RFN brand identity will continue to appear on ART’s F4 race car livery, competing on world-class circuits including the Shanghai International Circuit. RFN will use the real racetrack as a proving ground—feeding competitive spirit back into product engineering and brand systems.

Beyond Riding: Building a Sustainable Rider Development Pathway

RFN’s goal goes far beyond a single riding experience. We are committed to building a clear and sustainable pathway for rider development:

  • A first, systematic training machine for future rising stars
  • A core tool for young riders to build competitive fundamentals
  • A training partner for professional riders to maintain fitness and performance

From RFN, onto a bigger world stage.

In the 2026 season, RFN will continue to stand alongside ART—witnessing the emergence of more rising talents—and delivering the pure power born from the racetrack to every rider around the world who loves speed and freedom.
